    Howard hako

    Here's my howard hako, a German made machine imported by howard in small numbers to try and fend off the invasion of merry tillers etc. I have now sourced the correct wheels, does anyone have a spare fuel top please?

    1975 Wheelhorse C-100

    Hi all, I managed to dig out a photo of my Wheelhorse as it was when it arived back in 2005. Luckily it's looking better these days, even though I don't consider it finished. (could do with a fresh lick of paint on the red parts). I did keep the engine silver, when I first painted it ages ago, not really sure why I'd actually forgotten someone must have crashed it since the hood was damaged at the front, I learned a lot about body work straigntening it out. The rest of her was in pretty good shape though and most surprising is how there's effectively no rust on it at all. I also brought the light lens and light box for behind so I'll have to wire up the lights when I do the repaint at some point.

    What lathe have you got?

    Hiding behind the Ladybird mower and amonst the usual workshop detritus is my lathe... and to be honest, I've no idea who made it or when! It's obviously been repainted and renovated by the previous owner, whom I think made the motor frame, on-off switch and fitted the guards over the slow speed gears. It's a bit worn in places as expected, but gets used alot and is much appreciated (even if it is a bit grubby at the moment). The only mark on the main casting is the 'D.R.G.M.' number, which I think is a german trademark or something? The motor has '2 69' stamped on, which I presume is 1969...? It was mentioned by someone that it could be WW2 era, and brought back from germany after the war, though I have no idea if thats true or not. So if anyone can shed more light on it's history I'd love to know!
